The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi

This one would DEFINITELY not be appropriate at a high school level due to some pretty intense content, but colleges around the world could learn a lot from practically anything Paolo Bacigalupi has ever done. The Windup Girl is not just a wonderful sci-fi novel, but it deftly examines the effect we have on the environment, as well as carefully looking at gender roles and the not-so-nice tendency corporations tend to make the world a far worse place to live.
